there are a few of us around here with the kit, feel free to ask us if you need help, if we don't know the answer, we can at least point you to someone who does. Good luck man!

Here is a PIC of several of the parts that someone sent to me in the past. I edited it to identify the parts that were tossed into the box.

For the oil feed line, you will need to remove the stock oil pressure sensor and screw it into the supplied brass T-fitting. Here is an installed PIC:

This PIC shows the feed hose secured to the block with a rubber insulated clamp.

I don't have a PIC of the oil feed hose connection to the turbo assembly, but you should be able to figure it out. Just make sure that the center housing is rotated correctly so that the feed goes in from the top and the drain goes out the bottom.

Great info Blue!

Those pics are nicely illustrated, you should consider doing a write up on the diy sections for future ajp kit buyers who are interested in doing the install, like mua

Thanks...I'm happy to answer questions however, I will not write up a complete DIY for the AJP turbo kit installation. People pay enough for the kit to where IMHO, AJP should spend the time to document and send instructions to those that ordered the kit from them.

Do they actually send instructions for the install? If not then i would seriously reconsider buying it because the more diy i read for the kit, the more i see that it is not as bolt on as they say it is

No, they do not supply instructions at all with the kit. If you purchase and have any questions though, you can give them a call or ask on the forum. One way or the other, you should get help on the issue.

I say do the write-up yourself and sell it to AJP... that way you feel good about helping others, they get the instructions, and you get some money out of it.

You think that they would actually pay me?

I am happy to help others, but I am not going to write instructions for a kit that a company should have provided in the first place without receiving any compensation beforehand.

kenny rogers · 01-22-2008, 05:38 PM

I think they would lowball you. Intellectual property & copyrights to your pictures should be compensated. Show them a sample (like a random step in the write-up), tell them what you want (say... $1k) :P

I suggest just seeing what they have to say. I assume they have some interest in providing some instructions... cuts down on costs to answer questions when people call...

I think blue deserves the money but needs to be repped for always contributing to the forum. He’s like a turbo guru to me Blue I look up to you!!! You’re a true hero on 8th!

DO NOT, I REPEAT: DO NOT USE THE CRAPPY BRASS T AND RUN THE PRESSURE SENSOR RIGHT OFF THE BACK OF THE BLOCK!

-the vibrations from the motor will, over time(sometimes days, sometimes months) cause the T to break off and all your oil will go everywhere but where it should go. i've seen it at least 8 times and its not a pretty site ever!

-instead, buy the correct Earl or whatever brand ALUMINUM AN to NPT fitting, screw that into the port, then run a -4 or -3 1ft line to the fire wall where you will then mount your T fitting(aluminum). screw the sensor into one port and then run your feed line for the turbo off the other.

-when that stupid brass T breaks off inside the hole and your out on the road or on the dyno, there isnt a dman thing you can do to drive the car back home. towing is the only option.

-spend the extra 30 bucks and get it done right.
